clinical bridging study between v181 (dengue quadrivalent vaccine rdenvδ30 [live, attenuated]) to butantan dengue vaccine (butantan-dv) in healthy adults 18 to 50 years of age in brazil (v181-002)

Conditions: Dengue

Summary: the purpose of this study is to demonstrate that v181 is safe and well tolerated and elicits an immune response that is non-inferior to that of butantan-dv at day 28 post-vaccination in adults 18 to 50 years of age in brazil. the primary hypothesis is that v181 is non-inferior to butantan-dv for each of the 4 dengue serotypes based on geometric mean titers (gmts) and seroconversion rates at day 28 post-vaccination.

(note: topical and inhaled/nebulized steroids are permitted.) * has received systemic corticosteroids exceeding physiologic replacement doses (approximately 5 mg/day prednisone equivalent) within 14 days before vaccination. * has received immunosuppressive therapies, including chemotherapeutic agents used to treat cancer or other conditions, treatments associated with organ or bone marrow transplantation, or autoimmune disease, within 6 months prior to receipt of study vaccine, or plans to receive immunosuppressive therapies within 28 days following receipt of study vaccine. * has received a blood transfusion or blood products (including immunoglobulins) within 6 months prior to receipt of study vaccine or plans to receive a blood transfusion or blood products (including immunoglobulins) within 28 days following receipt of study vaccine. * has planned donation of blood, eggs, or sperm at any time from signing the informed consent through 90 days post-vaccination.
